Tiffany Stratton recently shared chilling details about a violent encounter she experienced. The current women’s champion appeared as a guest on Logan Paul’s Impulse Podcast, where she talked about Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in, and the unpredictability of unscripted wrestling moments.
During the interview, Tiffany revealed a previously untold story from her NXT days involving a confrontation known as the Road Rage Incident. She explained how, after cutting someone off in a parking garage, a heated exchange led to a physical altercation with a couple.
“When I was at NXT, after one of my matches, I cut someone off in the parking garage and they started yelling at me through the car window, so I pulled over. I got out, and we exchanged some harsh words. Then his girlfriend got out too, and things escalated when I started arguing with her and pushed her; she pushed back,” Tiffany recounted.
At 26, Tiffany had taken a break from NXT in August 2022, returning five months later in January 2023 with a stronger, more villainous persona. She found success in the developmental brand and earned her first title, the NXT Women’s Championship, in May.
The encounter, she revealed, quickly escalated and resulted in a severe injury that kept her away from wrestling for a significant time. “The fight got intense. She scratched me deeply with her long nails on my braids and knocked me to the ground. Then the man started stomping on my face, breaking the bones in it. No one knows this, so now you do—this is why I was out for a long time on NXT.”
Tiffany also mentioned that, aside from the prominent bruising on her face, she still feels damage in one of her teeth from that incident.
